Chris,
I don't think you quite know where I'm coming from. My publisher 
personally knows the owner of Pyraponic Industries and we also know Jorge 
Cervantes, Ed Rosenthal and all those other names sysnonymous with dope 
cultivation. I am certainly not condemning that in the least; for God's 
sakes I'm also the editor of The Best of Sinsemilla Tips. 
	It was actually in our former magazine, Sinsemilla Tips, where 
dozens of letters to the editor were printed disclaiming the Phototron. 
It was hard-core marijuana growers who saw it as a complete scam. The 
government is working with all kinds of grow chambers and hydroponic 
systems, even throughout Green Merchant.
	And by the way, the DEA was looking for power increases for pot 
growers not crack. It's a lot easier for them to bust pot growers than 
crack users because the former are not usually dangerous. Plus, the 
amount of power it takes to make crack is not significant enough to be 
detectable.
